Ahn Hyo Seob and Jeon Yeo Bin in Talks for the K-drama Remake of TW-drama Someday or One Day

View Comments

• Very surprised that AHS is still getting ML offers. SMH.

• HUH?????

  This is one of the most head scratching pairing I've seen. JYB is a great actress and she can pull off the adult character, but big question mark on the teenage character in a high school uniform.

  AHS gives me more worry. The two of them go together like chalk-and-cheese. I can't envision them having romantic chemistry and her vibe is more mature than his, not to mention the discrepancy in acting ability. She's also going to act circles around him. This gives me flashbacks to the Kim Taeri and Nam Joohyuk pairing. Why couldn't they have casted Kwok Dongyeon for this if they want JYB as FL?

  Back to the drawing board indeed. JYB, please pick something else.

  • I think JYB would be alright as a high schooler. She played a teenager in After My Death in 2018 and that was convincing to me. With the right make up and hair, she could probably pull it off.
    In total agreement with AHS tho. This combination is not convincing me

    • Okay that's true. But that film was 4 years ago and it's always tricky for actors to play younger versions of themselves, especially when they have to wear school uniforms.

      The biggest problem is I cannot wrap my head around this pairing, and the acting discrepancy is huge.

  • never like any work from AHS, His acting is fine but lack of precense. Kwok Dongyeon is a big yes, like give this talented young man leading role already he so underated it break my heart.

• Funny thing is AHS will supposedly play SK's character in Love Alarm. Enough with these guys PD-nims. They just got the looks but their acting is meh.

• No, no, no, no, no, and NO.

  I can take Jeon Yeo-bin as the FL. She's not the first (or second, or third) actress that comes to mind for this drama, but she's a super chameleonic actress and I believe she can pull off all iterations of the character.

  Howww did Ahn Hyeo-Seob get offered for this? JYB is going to have to *hard* carry this drama because he's going to be acting deadweight. Why are all these talented actresses getting paired with younger and less talented actors?

  Also, this is a remake of a beloved hit drama and will be on Disney+. No and no. There's more downside than upside with this drama.

• Honestly, I've found both of their acting meh in their projects I've seen. And their pairing is just so out of left field. Who is even asking for this remake? Funny how drama stans are chill about this but if it was Hollywood trying to remake SOOD, they'd scream bloody murder. Smh.

  • Not feeling this at all. The original masterpiece is still fresh and so perfect. Plus the male lead is bland and no way can JYB pull off being a high schooler

• Nope.....just no. I adore this drama....they need different actors.

• If she supposedly pulled it off in 2018, it doesn't mean she will in 2022 or whenever this drama is going to air. Her vibe and aura just don't match the role. And if her acting will be anything like the early episodes of Vincenzo, then heaven help us. As for the dude, the less said the better. Next!

  • Her acting was fine in Vincenzo. It's what blew her up commercially and her character is a fan favorite. Did y'all watch past the first few episodes?

    Original comment went into the black hole somewhere.

    • I prefered the last few episodes when she barely in them, also there more han seo who was much more interesting to watch. Plus the show become more dark and fast paced.

    • My first comment disappeared, but people don’t like Hong Chayoung? What???? I loved her and she was mad popular (on Reddit).

    • @yzma
      Nope I found her character annoying eventhough I know she was written as ott. I also started enjoying the drama more when her screen time was limited.

    • @kailey b, Oh. She’s one of my favorite female characters and definitely stole the show for me. I wanted a spin-off for her ?. That’s fine. Different strokes for different folks.

    • @yzma

      Haha its cause I watched vincenzo expecting a dark Mafia show, so the comedy bits were off-putting to me. The last few eps was how I wish the show started like. This opinion is polarising though there was also many that hated the last few eps as there was less focus on the potential budding romance and comedy side.

    • @kailey b, That makes sense. I liked the comedy and found the last few episodes disorienting because of how dark they got. Count me in the camp that was shouting for the romance ship to sail faster ?.

  • I loved her in Vincenzo but I'm not sure why you would assume her acting would be anything like Hong Cha Young anyway? That's one character and this would be a totally different one. Pretty sure Jeon Yeo Been as a talented actress who has won or been nominated for multiple prestigious awards for her acting work knows the difference between playing an eccentric, amoral lawyer and a woman in mourning going through an existential crisis involving her deceased boyfriend.

    • @Sunny - Yep. HCY was written and directed to be extreeeeeemely OTT in the beginning. If anything, this character is more similar to her Be Melodramatic character, and she NAILED that role (didn't she get a Baeksang nomination for it?).

      But this project won't work with AHS as ML.

    • peanut: baeksang for best new actress is not that hard to get. Looking at actors who can’t act and still got nominated and won like Song Kang, ahn Hyo Seop, LMH… you get the picture.

      I think YJB doesnt have good comedic timing but she is great at emotional scenes. This drama doesnt have comedy in it so she will be fine in this drama if she can pull off being a teenager.

    • @Ichchi - Yikes, never mind then. Baeksang aside, I thought she was great in Be Melo and SOOP sounds like an offshoot of Be Melo. She's a stronger dramatic actress, but I think she has decent comedic chops. I found her Be Melo character pretty funny (with that deadpan humor), and Hong Chayoung was a HOOT.

    • Tbh, baeksang often biases popular dramas. That's why lmh, and ahn hyo seop won because their dramas had high ratings.
      Sweet home was popular internationally,so I can see why song kang got the nomination.
      However be melodramatic didn't fare well ratings wise, nor was it buzzworthy outside sk. But the drama had good critical acclaim and jyb did well.

  • Make that 'the less said about his dreadful acting the better.'

• Is this going to be an SBS production? Because of it is I could understand why. Before Yang Se Jong went to the military, SBS started casting AHS as male lead in Dr. Romantic 2 and it's soon to be made sequel.

  But I really wish another actor be cast for this role.

  I feel that good looking young actors are just getting too many lead roles. While some who are more talented just keeps getting sidelined in supporting roles because their visuals are not up to male lead standards.

  • @M - It's supposed to be on Disney+, which just adds to my apprehension about this project.

    Where's @Royal We? I'm interested in hearing her take on this.

  • Apparently it's going to be a Disney one

  • I can't even imagine these two as a couple at all and am trying to picture them as the original leads and how it'll work but it's just not working, I can't picture JYB as an high schooler nor do I foresee any chemistry between them.

    This was a masterpiece that does not really need a remake right now cause it's still fresh in people's memory so it's funny how both Chinese and South Korea are pushing for a remake so badly.

  • I believe Han Suk Kyu is the male lead (Dr Kim) of Dr Romantic 2. AHS at the most is the supporting junior. Being a supportive cast is where AHS should belong. He is so bland, how can he lead?

  • What is it to do with Yang Se Jong? I don't get it.

• When it comes to casting, I don't care about looks matching so much as acting skills being on par. But if k-ent HAD to cast by looks, Wi Ja-hoon can pass off resemblance to Greg Hsu. I don't know who looks like Alice Ke in South Korea though.

  I can understand why Jeon Yeo-been is considering this role. It is a meaty role and the sort that stretches one's acting ability. But the risk is too high. It's going to be difficult to come close to the quality of the original, and I am utterly dismayed by the the ML candidate.

  • I notice wi ha joon and greg hsu being similar when WHJ was promoting squid game!

    Their big smile i think is making them look the same

• I Really love someday and one day, And I'm more worried about who is the screenwriters???? It will break or make the drama. I will sure JYB will pull this character off... If only the male lead is someone else. I agree of someone who suggest Wi Ha Joon. He would be perfect.
